Carlo Ancelotti praised the determination of his Real Madrid side as they secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Barcelona in the El Clasico. The win brings them within eight points of clinching the La Liga title, with Jude Bellingham’s late goal standing out as a highlight.
Real Madrid’s win against their main rivals was especially impressive because it happened only four days after their penalty shootout triumph against Manchester City.
Ancelotti’s team showed resilience across 120 minutes, plus penalties, in Manchester, while Bellingham found the net after the 90-minute mark at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
“We managed the situation well, having to come from behind twice, and we did it,” according to Marca.
“And with that last bit of energy, from an unforgettable week, we clinched the win.”
Next on Real Madrid’s agenda is an away league match against Real Sociedad on April 26, followed by a pivotal Champions League semi-final first leg in Munich four days later.co
